operation   contrasting valkyrie   
      in the sixties.  the central    
  intelligence  agency "cia" release  
   aerosolized  selatenine  over  a   
  jupiter equinox  concert, creating  
  the  largest secret paradigm shift  
  that  the world  has ever  seen.  
  
                                          
 the jupiter equinox* concert is part  of 
 a  festival in  black tickle arranged by 
 a group called  epicenter of love. there 
 is   no  entrance   but   visitors   are 
 expected to help with maintenance.  food 
 and  drink  is shared.  many  bands  are 
 playing over  the four day course of the 
 festival, and the stage  is open between 
 scheduled   concerts.   jupiter equinox, 
 while an unknown  act, has a prestigious 
 timeslot at eight in the evening on  the 
 third  day,  which  is  friday.       
                                          
 eight  is  also  when the plane used  to 
 spread   the   aerosol  lifts   off.  it 
 arrives at the festival  about a quarter 
 past,  sound  masked  by  the   concert. 
 around   when   the   first    wave   of 
 selatenine   must   have   reached   the 
 audience, the song comes to a  tense but 
 quiet  movement,  and  the  lead  singer 
 walks  to  the  front  of   the   stage. 
                                          
 she says, with  a crystalline voice:  "i 
 have  something  to tell you. i am not a 
 human being.  i  am  not an  animal or a 
 plant. i  have  been  sent to  deliver a 
 message to you. a  message  of hope. you 
 are  not alone. there  are other  beings 
 in  the  universe.  there  is  life  out 
 there,  life  that  is  reaching  out  a 
 hand. and  it's time  to take that hand. 
 to reach out toward that  hand  and grab 
 it  it. it is time to come home. you are 
 going   home.  you   are  going   home." 
                                          
 the   singer  stands  there  for  a  few 
 moments, her  hand  raised in  the  air, 
 before  the  rest of  the band kicks  in 
 and  the  music  builds to  a crescendo. 
 the  crowd  erupts.  and  then something 
 else  erupts  as  well.  a  concert-goer 
 describes  it:   "suddenly,  the   music 
 seams  broader,  more  colorful.  i  can 
 somehow  see  it, and i feel  the others 
 seeing it,  and i  see it through  their 
 eyes as  well.  meanwhile  i'm  dancing, 
 and  i  can  feel  my body as i've never 
 done  before, i am  aware  of each  cell 
 and  each  molecule,  all  vibrating  in 
 unison.  and  it's  all   going  faster, 
 building  up  to something,  waking up." 
                                          
 people  start  forming circles,  holding 
 hands  and  dancing.  some  are  crying. 
 some are  laughing. some  are screaming. 
                                          
 and then  - a flutter  -  and  something 
 gives.   a    shockwave   of   reversing 
 polarity   in   the  ether,   and   like 
 butterflies  getting hit  by a  burst of 
 wind, the third eye  opens for  everyone 
 in the audience. and it  becomes a chain 
 reaction, quickly spreading  across  the 
 festival  area. within  seconds there is 
 a   global   blackout.   festival  goers 
 regain  their  memories  around  a  week 
 later,  those  in  the  nearby  town  of 
 black tickle  after  a   few   days,  in 
 montreal  for  the evening, the  rest of 
 america  maybe  an  hour.           
                                          
 and  thus,   the  population   of  earth 
 has  kind  of  left  it's  materialistic 
 baseline,   only   that   most   do  not 
 remember                             it. 
                                          
                                          
  
  * there's an interesting aspect to  
   the  "jupiter equinox"  act.  it   
   seems  there   was   never  any    
  jupiter equinox concerts before or  
  after the one in black tickle. the  
   lead  singer  (also  colloquially  
  referred to as  jupiter) seemed to  
  immediately disappear  (for a long  
  while she was thought to have been  
   a  cia  agent,  but a  later foia  
  release refuted this). for obvious  
  reasons, many were looking for any  
   trace  of  the  band,  but  none   
   were fruitful.                     
                                      
  recently,  however, some attention  
  has been drawn to juniper helding,  
  a sixteen year old pop singer from  
   england who  has a very  striking  
   similarity...
